@h4ckernews FUTO Keyboard is great. Love it.

Takes a few weeks to get used to, but then it's just perfect. Local TTS works like a charm.

🚀 Oh wow, another "groundbreaking" #swipe typing system that's totally gonna revolutionize your life... by letting you swipe words on your phone. 🙄 #FUTO Swipe promises to finally liberate us from those dastardly privacy-invading keyboards with their "offline" app, because clearly that's been keeping us all up at night. 😂💡

FUTO Swipe

On my phone, I use FUTO keyboard app, both in English and Turkish. I also use voice dictation whenever I can.

Yesterday when I was meaning to use the English dictation, I didn't notice that my keyboard was in Turkish mode, so I dictated in English the Turkish keyboard with its multi-language dictation model. The result it typed out was the Turkish translation of my English dictation.

I just tested this and for the basic phrases it does not type out Turkish spelling of English sounds, but translation:
for instance saying "How are you?" into Turkish keyboard types out "Nasılsınız?" instead of "hav ar yu".

More complex English sentences may produce the English spelling of that phrase, but not very reliable. Phrases in other languages may produce translation or the phrace itself in its own language.

In my testing, the larger and slower model does more translation, while medium model stay true to the language that is spoken. Though I should mention that I speak English and Turkish and very few phrases in French, so my testing was quite limited.

For those of you not sure what I'm talking about, FUTO Keyboard is an Android keyboard aiming to be a privacy respecting alternative to Google's keyboard by providing same functionality, but completely on-device, without relying any cloud functionality.

What's up with FUTO? // Drew Devault

「 they make a point of criticizing the Open Source Initiative for banning Eric S. Raymond (aka ESR) from their mailing lists, citing right-wing reactionary conspiracy theorist Bryan Lunduke’s blog post on the incident 」
